Discussion article for the meetup : Princeton NJ Meetup
We're going to have the second ever Princeton NJ meetup! Even better than the first! Feel free to come whether or not you came to the first.
A bunch of people game me their emails after the first one, but we made the mistake of going handwritten, so I suspect many people never got my email. In any case, there is to be a second meetup!
Planned events:
- Paranoid debating. If you'd like, feel free to pick a numerical quantity for the rest of us to try and estimate.
- Discussion of this arbitrarily chosen high-scoring post that I like.
- Misc. delights.
- Planning for future meetups, including a proper email list.
As such, we hereby precommit to being at Small World Coffee on Witherspoon from 1pm to 3pm. I realize that people suggested better venues last time but I forgot, and the first duty of dictators is to do something when anything is better than nothing.
By the sign of the paperclip so shall ye know us.

I didn't come last time, but I would like to come to this one. By sign of the paperclip you just mean that you'll have a paperclip on your table?

Ideally we will have a big picture of one. Last time we also had my copy of Godel Escher Bach.
Also, I look forward to meeting you!

Oh! A paperclip sign. That's ingenious. I didn't realize there was a meetup last time so wasn't there either, but I'm very excited for this one.
For paranoid debating, perhaps the volume of Nutella consumed by France last year, or if that seems difficult to verify, maybe the area of cornfields in Wyoming or the height of some moderately famous tall building somewhere.

Those are good ideas. But don't say them openly! Just look up the number before the meeting and bring it along so the rest of us can try and estimate it.
In the mean time, I'll try and resist thinking too much about Nutella (except insomuch as is required to eat it).
